Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesBathroom and the fact that they charged us $20 per breakfast that was mediocre at best.
Bathroom was shoddy- not very clean, the caulking in the bathroom was a mess and the toilet didn’t work well.

United StatesThe mattress needs to be replaced badly. The duvet cover was falling apart but the rest of the room was perfect. Bathroom tub was rusted and the stopper was broken and very slippery getting into and out of. The room was clean but the cleaning staff didn’t place trash can liners inside any of the trash cans, I had to request them and received immediately.
View of the ocean from my room.

United StatesLocation - Across the street from the ocean. There’s walking space on the bluff above the water, and several place to climb down the bluff to the beach. A very short drive leads to free parking with an easier beach entrance. The property - Exactly like every other Hilton Garden Inn in the country. My room had a view of th pool and the ocean.

United StatesNot enough sofas and umbrellas by the pool, especiall for larger groups.
The turf and outdoor lounging area made for a great place to let kids run around while the adults lounged and mingled with other hotel guests. Also, the pool and outdoor happy hour were really nice features to keep everyone entertained while staying distanced and comfortable during Covid. While the hotel was not fully occupied, these amenities seemed to accommodate well.

United StatesThe room had a funky smell and the screen door didn’t open easily but overall, it was great for our purpose!
We only stayed one night on a side trip to Legoland. We knew we wouldn’t be there for long so didn’t want to pay a fortune. The hotel was very family friendly and to my surprise had live music next to the pool, along with a nicely-done, yet inexpensive barbecue. We left our screen door open to invite the beach breeze into the room, enjoying the laughter from families in the pool below. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice convenience store in the lobby too. Across the street from beach but we didn’t go because we were in hurry to leave for next destination.

Room and location were OK. There was no fan in the bathroom, so the sink mirror fogged up after a shower. The hotel is in a close area to cliff over-looking a beautiful beach and view of the breakers.

United StatesThe reason for my disappointing score was that on 2 separate occasions management would be yelling at their staff, speaking very condescending to their staff and at one point it seemed the management was having a meltdown about a call out. This was all done in the open in front of customers.
Overall with the property I was very happy with & the hotel rooms were very nice.
